Even though she is “so LA”, she makes a good point.

To be in a healthy relationship with the not-so-perfect universe, you have to be willing to SERVE the universe in some way, whether that‘s through environmentalism, bringing positivity into a space, or donating a warm meal.

People returning from Burning Man (or Rainbow Gatherings) are changed because of the “helper‘s high” experienced in such a gifting economy. It‘s the power of community.

“Listen. We‘re all meeting each other at different parts of our journey, and it‘s not efficient or effective to categorize people as right or wrong. What‘s right to you may feel wrong to someone else based on their specific circumstances and vice versa. … And no matter how much you disagree with someone, it‘s in your best interest to empathize with where they are on their journey.”

“Who wants to hear from a person who has it all figured out? Not me. I hate when I‘m venting about something, and someone replies with. ‘Oh really? I don‘t have those issues at all!‘ What the f, Raj, I‘m not here confessing my negative feelings so that you can tell me you have positive ones all the time, okay? I‘d rather spill those feelings to Pria, who is also a hot mess, so we can try to work on ourselves TOGETHER.”
